Bad Show san!

I really am not pleased at what san did to me this morning. NOT PLEASED!

san decided that I needed gigantic capsules! I tell you- just because I am quite good at eating capsules, it does not mean that I should? Am I right or am I right?

and I do not care that it is non-GMO or has offur sources of 369!

san told me this morning that she would try to give me somefing else. She said it would be better fur me as I do not have to take it effuryday - only once in 2 days! So I thot okie, why not. THEN I saw it. It was a gigantic capsule. I would chhhhoke san I said.

But san did not listen as she is sometimes def I know. I can meow at her in the morning, close to her face and she would not wake up! So she put the capsule in some honey and she pushed it into my throat! ARGHHHHH!!! Then I got treats. THAT was the only good part offur this morning.

san: It was a rather big capsule at 1200mg. I didn't expect it to be so big but it will give him all he needs and I only have to give it once in 2 days. Toro took it very well as he got the taste of honey before the capsule. But then Toro is very good with capsules and pills! He's a very good kitty. Btw the BURP capsule is 200mg and has to be taken 3 times a day, which makes it 600mg per day. So 1200 mg every two days should work out to be the same.

Hi, just a suggestion, have you tried cold pressed apple cider vinegar? One of my cats, BB, has a bad stint of UTI a year plus back. The problem wasn't resolved for a few months and I visited 2 different vets to get different options/opinions. The UTI was so bad that one of the vets suggested changing my boy into a girl as a mean of solution! That wasn't an option for me and in desperation, I went on the internet looking for hope and came across this article on ACV. I spyringed BB with a mouthful of diluted ACV every hour and 3 hours later, he managed to pee alittle. I continued twice more and by the next day, he was peeing normally, and the problem never came back. This ACV is good for humans too! Helps keep the kidneys and bladder/urinary tracts clean. One bottle costs SGD6++ in the supermarket (spent over a thousand at the vet prior). Nowadays, I just mixed it with his canned food as a form of maintenance. Hope this helps

Sweet Totoro... Be happy that your san is taking such good care of you. The capsules she gives you will make you feel healthier and happier. But I know how you feel, my mom is also giving me goji berries, noni juice, turmeric, fennel, spelt and other disgusting stuff, but I feel better and better thanks to this.~Avalon

Farewell Totoro

Totoro died on 16th September 2012 of edema and fluid in his lungs following a kidney operation. He could not breathe for 2 days and was in an oxygen tent for the the whole of 15 and 16 Sept.He told Fern that he was tired on the 14th when I brought him home and on the 15, he looked at me steadily and told Fern he waned to say goodbye. For the whole of the 16th, he slept with his face close to my hand.

He had lost his left kidney due to the calculi in it and there were 2 big stones - one 7 mm and the other 6mm in his right one. He was given 3 weeks before his right kidney would also fail him. Therefore the decision to try to get the sand (dissolved calculi) out of his right kidney that might extend his life.

We had struggled for about 4 years with this problem and all the tests that we had done could not tell us from where he had got this calculi that had lined both of his kidneys.

We would like to thank all the kind people who had tried to save our sweet kitty.

9 Sept Sunday-saw Toro in hospital am and pm-he continued to sleep-did not want to eat nor drink by himself-vet tech had to use syringe to feed him.

8 Sept SaturdayOp done by Dr Ly at 3 plus. Toro woke up at 5.20.-right kidney full of sand, blocked kidney although some urine was able to pass through.-urine spurted out immediately when kidney was cut-large calculi not in evidence because dissolved into sand-vet had to siphon all the sand out-worsened an already weakened kidney with op but there was no other way out-hospitalised (the plan was for 2 or 3 days in hospital)

7 Sept FridayUltra Sound- left kidney not working at all- right kidney calculi bigger 7.6mm, 6.5 mm, 3.5 mm, kidney enlarged- Dr Sabine and Dr Ly conferenced and we decided to go ahead with kidney op to save right kidney. It was a matter of 3 weeks max before the right kidney failed as well.

2011281111Blood TestBUN 23; Cre 2.5PCV 35.5% TP 7.6

US (Dr Sabine): Left kidney stable, right kidney dilation less at 4.6 from 5.2. More stones in right kidney, 2 stones increased from 5 mm to 6mm. All other organs clear. Review in 6 months.

Dr Ly gave him a new pill to try to dissolve stones - Its a Urinary Acidifier. Advice: US in 2 months to see if stones smaller. Also a test to see if he has struvite or oxalate as no definite test can be carried out either way.
